Some days you open up the mail and just cringe—especially if you care about the image of Seventh-day Adventism.

I love my Seventh-day Adventist community and I love my civic community. So, it's painful to see my local church so unaware of how to connect with the cosmopolitan people around them and the new century in which they live.

What a waste of this church's money and the donated time of the dedicated members who will show up once again hoping that a few random residents will show up to get unlocked. Just in case anyone thought that Seventh-day Adventism was changing too quickly. . .
